Love the physical book, and the publisher made lots of merchandising to go with it. 😍 There are interior illustrations as well—coming soon!

Cover illustration for ‘La noche de los mundos’, by @inesgaliano.bsky.social and Loredana Volpe, published by Ediciones Mutis. Art direction by Loredana Volpe.
Yep, all those lil drawings in the frame have a meaning in the story! Had lots of fun with them.

ALSO, met Claire North at #Festival42BCN.
Gifted her a print of my cover art for the Catalan edition of Notes from the Burning Age, and she LOVED it. I’m still crying over the fact 😭😭😭

Today would have been Ursula K. Le Guin’s birthday. Celebrating by sharing this portrait I painted in April, and reading Tehanu.

Both main characters of my current novel, sort of?
Vahna is stripped of their identity, which is closely interwoven with their job, and forced into exile.
Delshed is court-martialled, stripped of his rank and condemned to forced labor.
There’s surely a theme going on in here.

Note to future self: filling half of an illustration with gorgeous, richly detailed wavy hair in movement… while on a tight deadline… really isn’t the best idea

Happy bi visibility day, everyone! 🩷💜💙
To celebrate, have a snippet of an illustration I’m cooking, which coincidentally has ended up with a very much bi flag color scheme.

Are you in possession of an empty wall and in need of a weirdly handsome androgynous person to judgmentally stare at you? Each night, before going to bed, do you crave to look at a sad man who's dreaming of wild parallel worlds which may or may not become real? (1/X)
